How will I know my child is making progress?

Your child’s progress will be continually monitored by his or her class teacher.

Your child’s progress will be reviewed formally with the SENCo every term in reading writing and numeracy.

If your child is in Reception or above, a more sensitive assessment tool known as PIVATS can be used. This tool shows their attainment in more detail.

At the end of each key stage (year 2 and year 6), all children are required to be formally assessed using Standard Assessment Tests (SATS).

Where necessary, children will have a Support Plan based on PIVATS (Performance Indicators for Value Added Target Setting) or based on targets set by outside agencies specific to their needs. Targets and progress will be reviewed regularly and future targets implemented.

The progress of children with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) will be formally reviewed at an Annual Review where all adults involved in the child’s education will be present.

The SENCo will check that your child is making good progress when receiving individual and small group support

Regular observations and learning walks will be made by the Senior Leadership team to ensure that all needs of all children are being met and that the quality of teaching is high.

A Developmental Journal may be used to keep track of your child’s progress.

For children who have not made expected progress or whose attainment is below that of expected an action plan is created to support the children to make progress. This is then monitored for the next half term to ensure children are making progress.
